Thanks! I know you were being a smart ass. I did not take it negatively. Sometimes I just get writing and the next thing I know I have a few hundred words. This team can drive me nuts at times. I will always cheer for them, but it does not mean I agree with everything the players, coaches and management do on and off the floor.

You're preaching to the choir, bro. I know what it's like to go on for pages and pages. I think I've shortened my responses lately, but when I first got here... well, people got a WHOLE LOT of my opinion.

I've learned my personal opinion is kinda like vanilla extract. A little goes a long way.

its crazy to think that after such a disasterous start to the road trip, we could wind up going 3-3 on it, which i would have taken prior to the trip. lets hope we can get one in minny, they've been playing horrible lately. 3-3 is alot better than 2-4!

No doubt.

Biedrins, its on you, man. When Biedrins plays like a star, the Warriors seem unstoppable. Without Baron and Monta, its on him to step up and help out Al.

speaking of biedrins and his gaudy 62% from the field, why dont the warriors run any plays for him and let him post up? i could understand why if he was still shooting 35% from the line, but he's improved dramatically from there! maybe they are afraid that he will pick up some offensive fouls? its great that he gets the garbage points but frankly i'd like to see him get more touches rather than see some other guys jack up a wild shot.

I don't think he'll get many offensive fouls. I can hardly remember him getting any. He gets his fouls on the defensive end. I think the problem is that he gets most of his points off of put-backs and dishes. He does have some moves in the low-post though so I expect them to go there more often in the future. I'd expect his FG% to drop some when they do however.

I really believe we're set at C with Dre, and that's a luxury in today's NBA.

Not to mention, we've got a project big man whose improving by leaps and bounds...

When Patrick O'Bryant blows up (like Andris did), it'll be fun seeing who gets the starting job and who sits from night to night. I think, in the end, O'Bryant will have the offensive edge... but Biedrins will be a better rebounder. They can both block a huge amount of shots, so it's all gravy.
